What qualifications are required to become an internal auditor?

Much like the diverse functional environments they audit, internal auditors may possess
a broad range of educational backgrounds. However,
most people that gravitate to internal auditing possess finance, accounting, and information
systems degrees – persons that have deep
operations-based education are also considered good auditors. Previous work experience
as an internal auditor, independent
accountant, or higher education or healthcare experience is helpful. Professional
auditing certifications and operations and industry
credentialing demonstrate a strong working knowledge of skill-sets to our client base.
